Many people who believe in and claim to understand the paranormal think that most ghosts are harmless and can actually help people while they are visiting. People also claim that some ghosts are negative spirits who can make life uncomfortable for the living. Consider employing a variety of methods if you are trying to get rid of unwanted ghosts in your living space.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Ask the ghosts to leave. Directly address the ghosts and ask them to leave in a calm but forceful tone.
Step 2

Read the book "The Ghost Hunter's Handbook: A Field Guide to the Paranormal" by Lori Summers at Amazon to learn about ways to get rid of unwanted ghosts and what to do if you encounter a ghost (see Resources below).
Step 3

Burn a candle to get rid of unwanted ghosts. Write your intention on a piece of paper you place underneath the candle, or carve your intention into the wax of the candle. Repeat the process until you feel you have gotten rid of the ghosts.
Step 4

Follow the advice found in "Break that Curse! Get Rid of the Evil Spirits, Demons, and Ghosts" by Crowell Ramsey at Amazon (see Resources below).
Step 5

Visit a medium or psychic healer who can help you get rid of your negative ghosts. The healer might do spells or talk to the ghosts on your behalf to get rid of them.
Step 6

Smudge your home with sage. To smudge your home, open all of the windows in your home and light a bundle of dried sage. Sage is thought to clear away negative energy and spirits. Catch the ashes with a plate held underneath the bundle and walk around your home to cleanse it with the sage smoke.
Step 7

Invite good energies into your living space after getting rid of ghosts by lighting lavender, rose or vanilla incense and candles.

on 5/7/2009 I could not sleep for 6 months because of the ghost in my house. IT WAS AWFUL! I kept thinking I was crazy! Then my friend told me to call these people called the Ghost Capturers and they came and "captured" my ghost. HA! And they even did it for free! They were sent from heaven! Haha. I think they may only be in LA though. FYI.http://ghostcapturers.weebly.com/

on 12/29/2008 I like this article. It has given a place for people to list their experiences. The worst part of stuff like this is feeling you are alone.

on 11/30/2008 you are just blowing smoke and you know it so quit while you're ahead. You are doing more harm than good.

on 8/10/2008 I have a friend who called me at 2 in the morning crying. At first I thought it was do to our earlier relationship with us. Soon as she told me the reason for the call, I wish it was that. She was telling me she had medium powers. Not in those words, but that she didn't want to see this anymore. She was tired of it and was scared. She didn't say it was a once in a while thing, she said it was a constant thing. More than a few times. I just want to know in what way can I really help her, or is this not a haunting but a blessing?
I know she isn't messing around. I ain't going CooCoo either.
lol.
email me please with details and ideas.

on 7/5/2008 an entity also became obsessed with me when I was a child.
Children's minds are more open, therefore more psychic.
But, with troubled children, their openness makes them even
more vulnerable to being haunted, they are like lighthouses
to the entities.
Such was my case.
As an adult, I looked at the little clues about it and what was happening to me to
find out more, then I analyzed it and researched it.
When I realized what it was( more or less) the hauntings stopped.
There are different kinds of entities...
Some are ghosts ,some are demons.
The are several other reasons why they attach themselves to children, too.
